Thanks Scott. If you are using the Muxtape control as a playlist then it is more obvious that you have to click the bar to play the file. If you just have a single mp3 you want to play then it is not obvious to the user that they are supposed to click on the bar. I ended up calling the title 'Click here to play or pause the whole text' so that it appears on the player. But it's clumsy, and I'd rather have the title of the audio file there.

I know I can add my own little buttons by the side of the control to drive the player, I just wondered if there was any built-in way of doing this. But I guess from your reply there isn't!

Thanks,

Thanks for this suggestion too Digitalman. I didn't know about setTimeout until now. – StuMcG, on January 05, 2009 10:47

I tried doing this at first, but I think this property can only be set once per Sound object (I guess this is what 'instance' property means rather than 'dynamic' property). Each of my web pages has many sentences from a single audio file, so I am reusing the same Sound object for them all.

If whileplaying is how you'd implement it, then I'll stick with this. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your help - I tried again using BeSweet to do the resampling instead of Audacity and everything works great now.

For what it's worth I have the same problem as Mike W, using Flash 10 and Vista. All my files were recorded as 48 KHz WAV, and as 48KHz MP3 they all distorted. When I converted them to 44.1KHz MP3 the distortion went away. Unfortunately the conversion to 44.1 made the speakers' voices deeper and also all my timecodes are now awry.
